The victim's neighbor spotted one of the man’s vehicles at Taco Bell near 90th and Fort streets and told police.

Chief Deputy Marty Bilek said the neighbor’s vigilance made all the difference in getting the guns back to their licensed owner after they found the guns in Russell’s girlfriend’s garage.

“When this burglary happened, we gave it a high priority because we wanted to identify the suspect and recover the guns before they got into the wrong hands where they would be impossible to recover,” Bilek said.

Russell is booked on several charges, including burglary, theft and possession of a prohibited gun.

Deputies say Russell may have known the man he stole from.
